Graphics Tablets

[Jaxxxson Mayhem]

I've been using Photoshop for about 6 years now and want to get a graphics tab to take the next step. I used a Wacom tablet when I first started but haven't since. What are some recommendations on what I should get?

I saw this, what do you guys think of it?

Should I get that or get a Bamboo?

Or are there other options I should look at?

I have the large Wacom Intuos. I use it even outside of graphics and don't think I could ever go back to a regular mouse.

How's the learning curve with drawing on it?

It's not too bad, you just need to fiddle with the settings to get the pressure sensitivity to something you can be comfortable with. It also took me a bit to get used to looking at the screen when drawing, and not down at the tablet - force of habit, as if it were paper.

Ended up getting this big bad mothafucka.

I have a 35 buck 8x6 tablet from genius labs. Works great. Don't think I'd ever pay more.
